A VENTURESOME VISIT.
The preliminary lines of Mrs. Lud
low's match-making campaign had
been drawn with such slight difficulty
that the small conspirator began to
think that there would be no occa
sion for a go-between. Eingbrand's
hospitable welcome by the colonel, and
the easy facility with which he ingrati
ated himself at "The Laurels," left lit
tle to be desired; and his infatuation
was so very evident that it needed noth
ing in the way of encouragement. Since
lus side of the case was beyond the need
of prompting, Mrs. Ludlow directed her
efforts toward trying to ascertain his
. standing with Hester a praiseworthy
endeavor which the young girl ap
peared to take a perverse delight in frus
trating. At one time she would praise
him with such outspoken frankness
that its very unreserve was a most en
couraging symptom ; at another shu
would criticise him in a manner that,
was equally disheartening. She had
ridden down to spend the day with Mrs.
Ludlow on the morning following King
brand's introspective journey down th
mountain; and on that occasion she
would allow no word of commendation
to pass unchallenged.
"Oh. I don't deny that he's a pleasant
companion," she said, in answer to one
of Mrs. Ludlow's warm eulogiums.
"He could be that and much more with
out being a genius."
"But don't you think his literary
work is good?" asked her hostess, with
a shade of deprecation in her voice.
"I don't like it much; he's too ab
struse and analytical. I never did like
an author who insists upon taking his
characters to pieces as if they were
watches to be repaired."'
"What an idea! I'm sure Hugh never
thought of doing such a thing."
. . "He may not think of it, but he does
it just the same. Take that last story
in the Miscellany; he covers two whole
pages trying to tell why Mary doesn't
love Horace, when it's perfectly clear
that she does love him; and he does it
just at the time when you're positively
dying to find out what has become of
the hero. It's enough to make one skip
. everything but his conversation."
"What a merciless critic you are,
nester!"
"I'm not a critic at all, but I know
what pleases me in a story; and that's
one of the things that doesn't." She
went to the piano and ran through a
brilliant fantasia while Mrs. Ludlow
tried in vain to think of something else
to urge in behalf of the much-abused
author.
"Then there's another thing I don't
like about his stories," resumed Hester,
whirling around on the piano-stool.
"That's the way he deliberately takes
off the top of a character's head so that
you can see what the person is think
ing about. It's perfectly ridiculous;
and I told him so the other evening."
"Why, Hester, that was almost vindic
tive!" "No, it wasn't; he invited it, and then
tried to defend himself on the score
of being explicit. I told him he ouj-ht
to give his readers credit for at least
half a grain of penetration."
"What did he say to that?"
"He covered his retreat with a well
turned compliment about all readers
not being so discriminating as as some
others."
Mrs. Ludlow smiled: "I believe he is
quite popular."
"Oh, I don't doubt that in the least.
I'm only speaking for myself. I like a
story with a good strong motive and
plenty of life in it; I can go to church
when I want to bear sermons."
"Hester, you are actually shrewish
this morning. One would think, to
hear you talk, that Mr. liingbrand had
mortally offended you."
"He has, in a way; he has spoiled all
"my pretty fancies about authors. I
thought they were a superior race, and
here the . very.first one I meet is sim
ply a well-bred gentleman, who re
minds you of all the corrrect qualities
of his characters. I think it's too bad."
"It certainly is too bad when you can
find nothing worse than that to say
against him," replied Mrs. Ludlow. "I
was in hopesjrou would like him."
"I do like him, but I'd adore him if
he wasn't quite so correct," rejoined
Hester, mischievously. "Just think
how delightful it would be if he would
only do something dreadfully wicked
or absurd just the very thing one of
his handsome heroes wouldn't do."
"You're quite too incorrigible," Hes
ter. I'm not going to say another word.
Here comes Mr. Ringbrand with Tom,
now, and I shall let him fight his own
battles."
At the dinner-table the conversation
turned upon Eingbrand's stroll on the
mountain. . ...
"Where did you go, Mr. Ringbrand?"
asked Hester.
"I'm hardly familiar enough with lo
calities around here to know, but I
think I went as far as MpNabb's Cove.".
. "Then you saw the ; home of our
hereditary enemies," she said. . "Did
you notice a log house in the bottom of
the cove?" ' -
"I did." .
"I've been telling Hugh the history of
the feud," said Ludlow; "he threatens
to write it up." .
"Why, Ludlowl you know I .never
hinted at such a thing. Miss Hester, I
hope you won't believe anything that
he says." -
"I'm not at all afraid of your put
ting the feud into a story," replied Hes
ter, with an air of conviction.
Ringbrand could not let well enough
nlone, and he asked: "Why?" -
"Because the characters are all too
dreadfully impulsive and natural. . Yon
cotddn't possibly tone them down into
correctness, if you were to try ever so
hard:"
Ludlow laughed uproariously: "You
don't know how much good that does
me, Hester. I've been telling Hugh all
along that he didn't know the first prin
ciples of story-writing."
"I'm sure I don't know why you
should say that," responded the girl,
changing front with an easy facility
that made Mrs. Ludlow catch her
breath. .. "I think Mr. Ringbrand's
stories are perfectly delightful. . I only
meant that he wouldn't care to use such
rough materials."
Ringbrand glanced up gratefully and
saw Mrs. Ludlow trying to look re
proachfully at Hester; then the uncon
ventionally of it all apjiealed to him
like the turning of a new leaf -in the
book of experience, and he laughed"
pleasantly. "Do you know it's quite
charming to hear one's self discussed
in open meeting?'.' he said "In all my
life I've never heard so much frank
criticism as Miss. Latimer .and Tom
have given me in the last few weeks.
It's decidedly refreshing, after half a
lifetime pf meaningless praise pn one
hand, set off. by an equal amount of
spiteful abuse on the other. I'll give
fair warning now, though, that I mean
to turn the tables some fine day, and
you'll hear me telling Ludlow how to
run an iron-furnace, and "
"And Miss Latimer how to hold her
tongue," interrupted Hester, mali
ciously.
Indeed. I wasn't going to say any
such ungallant thing," protested King
brand. You might as well say it as to think
it, "rejoined Hester, meekly. ."I know
1 shall catch myself looking for an inv
pertinent young woman in all your fu
ture stories."
After that the talk drifted back to
the feud, and Hester related the inci
dent of the evening before. "I suppose
it must have been one of the ISynums,
bhe concluded; "though I can't imag
ine what his object could have been
"Perhaps it was Uncle Ephraim
after, a chicken," suggested Mrs. Lud
low.
"Uncle Kph wouldn't come around
the front of the house when there were
four of us sitting on the veranda," re
plied Hester.
"May I ask to be introduced to Uncle
Ephraim ?" inquired Ringbrand.
"You've met him," said Ludlow
u PI li Tilnfiun c? 1 1 'nil- ri
"Oh! the old fellow who carried my
valise up from the train. WI13-, I've
seen a good deal of him, and he seems
to be quite above chicken-stealing. I
believe I'd trust him with my pocket-
book."
"You could do that safely enough;
he'd bring it back; but that isn't saying
lie wouldn't borrow a fat chicken if
Providence threw one in his way. Un
cle Eph is as honest as the day is long,
but he'll bear watching after dark," re
plied Ludlow. "However, I agree with
llester; .the intruder wasn't a vagrant
or a chicken thief ."
"'o," said Hester; "I suppose it was
one of the Byuiim boys; ar.cll wanted
to ask you, Mr. Ludlow, if there had
been any new developments lately; I
can't get anything out of father or
Henry."
"Nothing that I know of, except
well, yes; we've decided to begin work
again on the McNabb vein, but I don't
see how that- could account for your
visitor; that's distinctly a company af
fair, nqw."
"You may be sure they won't consid
er it so. I'm afraid it will mean a re
turn of the old days of cut clotheslines,
aijil broken fences, and border warfare
generally."
Ringbrand looked shoeked, and Lud
low replied, gravely: "We won't have
that, at any cost. I wish there were
some way of getting evidence against
them."
"Can it be possible that there have
been no witnesses to any of their depre
dations?" asked Ringbrand.
"Oh, I suppose there are a few, only
they won't testify, and I don't know
that I blame them much; I'd go on the
witness stand myself, if I were morally
sure of a conviction, but otherwise it
would be risky enough. It takes a he
roic love of justice for its -own sake to
make a man willing to incur the enmity
of such people as the Bynums."
"What would be necessary to con
vict them?"
"The testimony of one or more relia
ble eye-witnesses, or a chain of circum
stantial evidence that could not be easi
ly broken."
Ludlow's bantering suggestion that
he should turn detective came to Ring
brand with a sober meaning in' the
light, of the threatened danger to the
Latimers, and in connection with his
discovery of the crevice cave. He saw
his opportunity, and how a braver man
would have turned it toaccount; adozen
plans for entrapping the criminals
flashed through his mind, but they all
asked f cr more or less personal courage
on the part of the person who should
execute them. Of course there was the
alternative that he could efface himself
bv tu rning his information over to those
who would make use of it; but. Ring
brand was only human, and he had al
ready learned enough of Hester's char
acter to make him fear that she might
suspect his motive in shifting the re
sponsibility. . As a matter of fact, he
did her an injustice in this; but when
cowardice, or venality, or vice, or any
other human weakness or wickedness
once .undermines the fbrtrdss of char
acter, there aremany uncanny shapes
standing ready to slip unnoticed
through the breach.
After they had left the dining table
he excused himself, and spent the early
part of the afternoon in wandering
aimlessly about the village, trying to
devise some scheme which offered a
compromise between his weakness and
his determination to win Hester's ap
probation; and with the planning came
that curiously insistent urging which
finds a parallel in the desire to see how
near one can creep to the brink of a
precipice without being overbalanced.
It is thequality which-often leads a
timorous man to attempt that which
would make a "brave one hesitate, and
when Ringbrand finally yielded to its
importunity he turned his steps toward
the road he had taken in the forenoon.
To be continued. '
WAS MISREPRESENTED.
W. B.
H. Dafar Krllortl Mitchell
the People's Choice.
Dufcb, May 10, 1896.
Editor Chronicle, The Ballet, Or.
Dear Sib : In the daily Oregonian of
May 7th there appears an article charg
ing me with having met Hon. O. N.
Denny of Portland, apparently
by. appointment on Friday, May
1st. This ' information was given,
so the Oregonian states, by a well
known citizen of Wasco connty. The
article then goes on to state that "the
following day . a meeting was held at
Dufar in which my brother, . B. Da
fur, the Democratic nominee for joint
senator of Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam
counties, addressed the citizens of
Dufur and pledged himeelf and his col
leagues, if elected, for Hon. John H.
Mitchell for United State? senator." It
further states that I was flt this meeting
and that someone called on me for a
speech and that I took np the Mitcbefl
and other propositions and said that
my kind of Republicans were endorsing
the position taken by my brother on
these questions.
Now, Mr. Editor, if yon will allow me
space in your columns, I will attempt to
answer these base and false charges
made by the well-known city of Wasco
and the better known brainy
editor of the Oregonian. In the first
place, I am not, as is well known in
Waeco, a politician or political boss, bat
eimply follow farming for a living, and
am what might be termed ;'one of those
poor farmers of the West that assists in
feeding that capacious maw of that long,
lank cow of Ben Tillman's." Now, as
to the meeting of Hon. O. N. Denny and
myself, there were no arrangements
whatever. As is known to most of you,
I come to The Dalles every Friday to de
liver my batter and cheese to my cus
tomers and attend to other necessary
business. On that Friday I bad some
business at the First National bank, and
as I Came out Mr. Denny and some
other gentlemen stood there talking.
Recognizing me, we shook hands, passed
the time of day, and I went on about
my business, Judge Denny attending to
bis, I presume, for I think be is compe
tent of doing so without any assistance
cf the editor of the Oregonian or the
"well-known citizen of Wasco county."
I afterward met Mr. Denny at the Uma-
tillaJHoupe as he came from his dinner,
and as I was going to mine, I walked np
the street a short distance with him,
conversing on different subjects. If the
editor of the Oregonian will interview
the judge perhaps he will be kind
enough to tell him what our conversa
tion was, seeing it worries the brain of
Harvey W. so much.
Now as to that meeting at Dnfur. My
brother was billed to speak there some
thing like a week before hand, and as I
am in the habit of listening to both
sides of the question and trying to lt-arn
all I can (for I an but a -common farmer
you know) I attended the meeting, ar
riving verj late, Mr. Armsworthy hav-
ng finished Ins speech and my brother
having almost finished his, perhaps
speaking five minutes after I arrived.
The audience was largely Republican,
and they appeared to be highly- pleased
with the stand taken by MesBrs. Dufar
and Armsworthy. I did bear this much
of my brother's epeecb relative to the
election of a United States senator, and
that was this, that if elected and bis
party was in the minority and could not
elect a senator, that in place of allowing
a deadlock, as happened two years ago,
thereby retarding needed legislation, be
would cast bis vote for Hon. John H.
Mitchell. After they closed Mr. Bing
ham . of Dafar was called upon and
talked to the crowd on the issues before,
the people, handling the financial ques
tion in a comprehensive, masterly man
ner. . Then I was called upon. Now, as
to my saying that I and my kind of .Re
publicans were endorsing my brother or
were supporting him or any other legis
lative or senatorial candidate of this dis
trict, nothing of the kind was said. But
I did eay that I was for John H. Mitch
ell for United States senator, for I be
lieved bis views on the financial question
and on other great questions were more
in common with true republican princi
ples and the interests of the masses of
the people than were the views of Har
vey W. Scott, the eelf-conscituted boss
of certain political organizations of Ore
gon ; and I farther claimed that the ac
tions of the . Oregonian in the present
political campaign, in bolting the regu
lar nominee of the Second congressional
district for congress, was not in keeping
with true republican principles, and if
carried oat would disrupt and destroy
the Republican party, and that the ac
tions of certain conventions, manipulat
ed as they were by self-constituted
bosses and bossism, was an insult to the
voters of the Republican party, and that
I, as a Republican and one who believes
in the intelligence of that party, did not
indorse the action of the Oregonian in
placing in the field a candidate to defeat
the regular nominee, who, as I consid
ered embodies all the true principles of
an honest, true Republican, and who
had never proven a recreant to the trust
the people had confided tn him during
his official career as their representative
in congress. I further Baid that bad I
been a member of the last session of the
legislature, and looking at it as I did, I
bould have voted for Hon. J. N. Dolph
for the United States senate. Not be
cause I agreed with him in his financial
views, bat because be appeared to be the
choice of a majority of the Republicans
I in that session of the legislature, and
believed in. the right of the majority to
rale. That now Senator Mitchell being
a candidate . for re-election, and Mr.
Dolph having had his contest and being
defeated, I believed it but riisht and just
for him and his friends to allow Mr.
Mitchell the field at this time. That I
believed Mr. Mitchell fo be the choice of
a large majority of the people.
ibis, Mr. Editor, is about the snm
and substance of my talk to the people
at the meeting held at Dnfur, which is
worrying the editor of the Oregonian so
much. , I have been in Wasco coanty
and voted at every election since the fall
of 1876, and can eay I believe my record
aa a Republican is much better than Mr.
Harvey Scott's of the Oregonian, as in
that time I have voted for bat one man
on the Democratic tieket, and that was
prosecuting attornev onee ; the editor of
the Oregonian during tee same time
having bolted the nominations on sev
eral different occasions; at least we,
the people, believe so.
If the Oregonian has ever advocated a
measure that was to the best interests
of the masses of the people, I should
like to know when. In the present
course which it is pursuing in bringing
out the independent candidate, Mr.
Northap, if to the interests of the ma
jority of the voters of the Second dis
trict, or if they think so, let them read
the following, which I clip from the
Portland Chronicle of May 1st :
Now that H. W. Scott has succeeded
in bringing out Nortbup as an inde
pendent candidate for congress against
W. JMlia,- the regular Republican
nominee, the Chronicle will concentrate
all its efforts to defeat this man Nortb
up. A more unpopular, arbitrary and
conceited individual never walked the
streets of this city. There are no com
mon interests existing between him and
trie people, tie is in the neia as a
candidate simply to gratify the over
loaded ambition of Harvey Scott, who
18 willing to sacrifice everything in or
der to disrupt the Republican party of
this state. A more vile and degraded
action never took place than that of
bringing out this man Northap for a
position ibat, under the laws of God,
man and the grand old Republican
party, he is honorably barred from ac
cepting. Not one honest Republican
vote in the whole state will be cast for
t his usurping offspring of Harvey Scott's,
who is merelv seeking higher honors
for himself at a sacrifice of party honor
and principle. The Chronicle will use
every means at its command to defeat
this aspiring applicant lor unearned po
litical honors.
In conclusion allow me to eay that
when Mr. Scott, or any other individ
ual, says that I have been pledging
myself to this man or that man, they
are entirely off, and are making state
ments not true. I am a supporter of
John H. Mitchell for United States sen
ator, and hope to see him re-elected
hecause I believe he is the man best
fitted for the place and will represent
the people and their interests. I am
also a supporter of W. R. Ellis, be
cause he is a consistent Republican and
has been an honest, faithful represent
ative of the people and their interests.
If my position is worrying the Orego
nian I cannot help it." I have always
fought and acted for myself, never al
lowing mv brothers nor my family to
dictate my politics for me, consequent
ly cannot allow Harvey W. to.
Very respectfully, .
W. H. Dufob.
